MRI report
This is part of a report of a brain MRI scan:
... multiples imagenes hiperintensas ... en la sustancia blanca profunda de los lóbulos frontales, en su mayoría son menores de 4 mm y **no restringen en difusión** en relación a áreas de leucoencefalopatía crónica.
How to translate this little phrase, within this larger sentence? This MRI terminology is a foreign language to me, regardless of what language it's written in!
Thanks for your help with this one.

with no evidence of restricted diffusion
Background/theory: Many pathologies cause restricted extracellular diffusion of water protons including infarction, cytotoxic edema, high cellularity within tissue, viscous fluid, demyelination, and metabolic disturbances. Restricted diffusion is seen as high-signal intensity on DWI. However, not all hyperintense regions on DWI images are due to restricted diffusion.
So, I read it as multiple hyperintense tiny lesions who show no evidence of restricted diffusion ( stressing this since many hyper intense lesions show diffusion restriction) compared to the areas of chronic leukoencephalopathy ( which shows diffusion restriction).
See what I mean?

| Ciao Lirka! Yes, I do see what you mean ... after following the link provided above by Elsa, the translation I came up with says " ... do not show restricted diffusion in relation to the areas of chronic leukoencephalopathy " Pretty close; I'll change "in relation to" to "compared to". This MRI language is SO strange to me! |

do not restrict (reduce) in their diffusion
reducir a menores límites es el sentido que parece más probable
El tamaño no se reduce cuando se difunden
En un primer momento entendía algo como
no restringen su difusión a las áreas...
Es decir
do not restrict their diffusion into areas of chronic leukoencephalopathy.
Entendiendo que el original quiere decir algo así
no restringen su difusión hacia áreas de leucoencefalopatía crónica.
Es decir que no limitan su difusión a esas áreas
Pero creo se puede entender como reducir
